2. Broadband Today:Changing Definition
2nd Septemeber 2010, London
• ITU Chief Hamadoun Touré: "broadband technology
will dominate this decade“
• "ICT and broadband are the decisive factors for the development of all
industries, and encouraging private companies to develop infrastructure
helps create profits and jobs, which will help nations around the world to
meet the Millennium Development Goals," he said.
• Monday 20 September,2010
• Broadband is a basic human right, ITU tells UN –
• Access to high-speed broadband should be a basic human right, the
International Telecommunications Union told world leaders at the UN's
Millennium development goals conference in New York on Sunday.

3. The Shifting Focus t
• ITU Secretary General Dr Hamadoun
Touré said broadband access was a
"tipping point" for economic
development. "It can generate jobs, drive
growth and productivity, and underpin
long-term economic competitiveness. It is
also the most powerful tool we have to
meet the Millennium Development Goals,
which are now just five years away," he
said

4. THE ACTION POINTS
• “1. Connecting broadband with the Millennium Development
Goals and knowledge societies
• 2. Benefitting from transformational change
• 3. Using transparent, fair, competitive, technology-neutral
models
• 4. Enabling content and applications creation
• 5. Employing broadband to help combat climate change
• 6. Accelerating broadband access for women and girls
• 7. Supporting wider broadband inclusion for all
• 8. Broadband modelling, evaluation and monitoring
• 9. Building a global partnership for broadband development
• 10. Next steps for broadband partnerships and projects”

6. • 1.2 Why promote broadband? 2002-03
• Generally speaking, the main reasons for promoting broadband can be given as
follows:
• • Benefits to users. Compared with narrowband, the increased speed and always-
on4 nature of
• broadband enables the exchange of richer content, facilitates improved, expanded
and more rapid
• communication, and allows the sharing of a connection with multiple users.
• • Benefits to the economy. Broadband connectivity is helping to establish an
“information society”. It
• encourages innovation, stimulates growth in an economy, and attracts foreign
investment.
• • Returns on investment. Broadband holds the promise of new applications and
services that will
• attract users and help recover infrastructure development costs.

27. INDIA & INDONESIA
THE SLEEPING GIANTS

28. Indonesia Stats
• Indonesia is the fourth largest country in thehe
world with 240 Million population
• Ranked as one of the top four telecom markets in
terms of scale and development potential
• Until 1989, the telecoms sector was Govt
Controlled
• In 2000, policies governing the telecoms sector
were amended in order to create a competitive
environment for the entry of new telecom
players
• 1994 :Internet services were first introduced
commercially

29. SLOW LANE TO FAST TRACK
• With a total population of 240
million, Indonesia is ranked as one of
the top four telecom markets in
terms of scale and development
potential. However, Indonesia faces
some big challenges if it is to

30. SLOW LANE TO FAST TRACK

broadband services would
certainly provide a much
needed boost to broadband

•Internet users likely to emphasising the exceptionally
cross 80 Million by 2010 high potential for growth.

31. SLOW LANE TO FAST TRACK
• The Bottom Line
• It is easy to look at a country like Indonesia with a critical eye, and come
up with lots of suggestions on how the country may more rapidly develop
Internet broadband infrastructure. That is until you travel within the
country and learn the true meaning of “rural.” Indonesia’s government
understands the value of integrating eLearning, eGovernment,
eBusiness, and eEverything into the Indonesian socio-cultural DNA. And
the government is encouraging Indonesia’s private sector to invest.
• As foreigners looking in, we should step back and remember the Jakarta
and Indonesia of the mid-1990s, and consider the remarkable
development that has occurred over the past decade, and congratulate
the government in its current success, while encouraging further growth.
A well-educated, well-wired, and productive Indonesia is both important
and valuable to the international community, and from what I have seen
over the past few days the country is making great progress in meeting
their goals.

34. The Palappa Ring Project
POINT COUNTERPOINT
•
• Telecommunications is Palapa Ring, for example, is known to engineers
as a project for laying a long fibre optic cable in
Eastern Indonesia. But “Palapa” is a war cry that
unusually plastic. It was traces back to Indonesia’s 13th century
Majapahit regime that achieved the impossible
shaped by behind-the- goal of united the vast archipelago into one
Empire. Turning today’s fibre optic network into
scenes bargaining. It a tool for user empowerment must be
understood as an equally heroic mission. Palapa
can be reshaped by in the 21st century can convey the zeitgeist of
broadband. Such ideas represent the true
human leaders with the national awakening: Broadband, properly
deployed, is capable of awakening productive
hopes of all Indonesians capacities of more than 200 million consumers
who nowadays wait patiently on the sidelines,
in their hearts. hoping for the chance to be incorporated into
Indonesia’s formal economy.

35. Palapa: Business case
Prescription Solution
• Palapa Ring is a brilliant • After all, Indonesia needs a
broadband ecosystem that is usable,
